Abstract

Abstract: The author recalls his struggle of being a biracial Filipino/Ukrainian son born before 1945, living in a Chicago, Illinois, public housing project milieu. He comments that the city's West Side public housing was intentional segregation. When Andres moves to Seattle, Washington, in his adolescence, the new social and ethnic environment challenges his becoming. He confronts his mixed-race identity, probes human nature tendencies, describes his action steps to achieve belonging, and accepts his Filipino American biracial identity. Closure is pro vided with a poetic reflection befitting a son.
